The Catholic Church Must Apologize for Its Role in Rawanda's
Genocide
http://blackhistorymonth2014.com/2253/the-catholic-churchrawanda-genocide/
The Pope was a man of double standards. He failed to
apologise to Rwandese, Africans and humanity in general for the role
played by the Catholic church in the Rwanda genocide. Why did he go
ahead to protect and even call for the release of the Catholic bishops
and fathers who were directly involved in the genocide? We all know of
the fathers and bishops of the Catholic church who lured Tutsis and
moderate Hutus to be killed in churches. Is the leadership of the
Catholic church hiding and covering us from the truth of its behind the
curtains world in the name of christianity?

On Sunday, President Museveni donated $10,000
(Shs26m) to projects run by the Uganda Catholic Martyrs’ Church, Rome
after touring church complex, which includes, a church building,
recreation facilities and an office.
PREPARATIONS AHEAD OF EXPECTED VISIT
A fundraising drive expected to collect millions
of shillings needed to redevelop the Namugongo Uganda Martyrs Shrine is
underway. The Pope is expected to visit the shrines if he makes the trip
to Uganda.
The Catholic Church in Uganda formerly invited him here according to the Archbishop of Kampala Diocese Cyprian Kizito Lwanga.
Early this year, the much awaited visit by the Pope was postponed with the Pontiff confirming he is unable to make the trip.
The celebrations of the 50 years of the
Canonisation of the Uganda Martyrs, which the Pope had been officially
invited to preside over on October 18, were also postponed.
The last Pope to visit Uganda was John Paul II, in March 1993. His predecessor, Pope Paul VI, had visited Uganda in August 1969.

In brief remarks to worshipers who attended the Sunday prayers, at the Uganda Catholic Martyrs’ Church, Museveni said he had not visited the premises before because he was not aware of that church.
When Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio was elected Pontiff last year, Museveni, in a congratulatory Twitter message, wrote:
“His Holiness Pope Francis. This is to congratulate you upon your election to the holy office of the Pope. Your Holiness, there is added significance that you are the first Pope to come from the third world, where the majority of Christians live. I am sure you will use your life experience to bring the necessary changes to the Catholic Church.”
